The Road Less Traveled
An insiders perspective on legal proceedings and prison system told first-hand. Part personal journal and documentary, this podcast is an open and honest discussion on what really takes place behind the scenes. Thought provoking and comedic at times, these are the stories I need to tell. Thank you for tuning in and being respectful. New episodes Wednesdays.

I've mentioned on multiple episodes that I work at a restaurant... Well, the secret is out apparently. I wanted to do this episode over a year ago when all these changes started trickling down from corporate but I was also trying to balance and maitain my anonymity with respect to the place that employs me. Please note that I overall have nothing against PF Changs/The Company as you will hopefully understand if you listen to the en...
On this weeks episode I talk about Olympians, DUI's, the hero complex, and a need for patience and understanding that just doesn't seem to be there these days. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
This week's episode is dedicated to Music! (Yes, with a capital M.) It's funny, I think I only mention a couple random bands since the episode's conversation is mostly about how significant music was to me in jail/prison, its influence on me creatively and emotionally, etc. etc. so when I mention that I was having "a music day" I was listening to 70's/80's hits. The energy in songs from those decades is catchy. Music is like a snap...
I recorded this episode on Wednesday and then got sidetracked and forgot to upload it. I know, I'm operating at an average 4 or 5 for personality type 3's. Understand what I'm talking about? Don't feel bad if you don't, I barely do. This week's episode is dedicated to the Enneagram, otherwise known as the Riso Hudson personality test. There's way more to it than I had time to talk about in the episode, but at the end of the day it ...
Sorry that I've been absent the last couple weeks, been going through a touch of depression. Turns out Mother's Day isn't my favorite. Not an excuse though, just shedding light on my current state. Hanging in there though, so until next time, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
On this week's episode I talk about my experience going into Parole and Probation for the last time. Spoiler alert: I'm getting my honorable discharge granted.
Tune in or tune out, this episode of The Road Less Traveled is an hour long of free form comedic discussion. After episode 65 I was feeling like I needed to recenter myself and get in my sarcastic form of therapy. Welcome to an hour of hopefully funny jokes mixed with life stories and venting. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db

Greetings! Anxious about the world? Scared of things you have no control over? Welcome to today's episode! I'm about three months away from my parole ending and rather than seeing the light at the end of the tunnel I'm starting to get more stressed, more anxious, and more fearful of what that looks like. On today's episode I try to analyze myself and why I think these stressors and fears are manifesting and how I'm trying to cope w...
Ever feel like people don't know what they're talking about? Me too. I'm usually the first to say I have no idea what I'm saying, but a lot of people operate from a position of arrogance confused with confidence. This episode is a smattering of examples on why I'm losing my mind. Enjoy! -db

Greetings! Ever feel caught in a loop? It's not groundhog day, or the movie Looper, but it could be addiction or avoidance. Today's episode is an update as well as light exploration of some of my biological family's addictions and habits and why being aware of the generational loop is important. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
Everyone's talking about politics these days.... Don't worry! This episode is focused on the micro-politics that go on in jail and prison, not the macro-politics that apply to our nation our world (although I do try to tie the two together in my own meandering way). As always thank you for being respectful and listening. Enjoy!

Today's episode covers a very heavy topic, although my approach is more of an open discussion on the importance of providing not only context and transparency when reporting statistics, but also the responsibility people reporting these facts have on how they are relayed to us. You only get one chance to make a first impression, let it not be a misleading one. -db

On this special episode of The Road Less Traveled I finally open up about one of the most traumatic experiences I had while incarcerated... and it wasn't even inside prison. After so many events over the last few years, I thought I would revist the topic of PTSD, especially due to incredibly recent events. As always, thank you for tuning in and being respectful. - db
Welcome back listeners! This episode is dedicated to my newfound motivation to improve not only this podcast, but myself in general. I'm finally to the point that I've been out of prison for a few years and can now start effectively planning week to week rather than just trying to make it day to day. (This isn't to say I wasn't planning for things down the road, but there's only so much you can realistically accomplish when you're ...
On episode 55 of The Road Less Traveled I disclose my financial and personal starting point upon being released from prison. I thought it would be helpful for people to understand that I wasn't starting from zero even though I was starting over. I am very fortunate and grateful for all the help I've received during my incarceration and my continued effort to move forward. As always, thank you for listening and being respectful. -db
...With only 6 months left on parole, I feel like I have a clear direction for the next phase of my life... I lay it out on this episode, what led me to some of these realizations, and the very real fear behind some very real possibilities. As always, thank you for tuning in and being respectful. -db
The California Wild Fire's are burning out of control and hitting LA and the Pacific Coast Highway. I never thought I'd be fighting wild fires one day while I was incarcerated and can only imagine what those people are going through having seen firsthand what the Paradise fire in CA did. Stay safe and stay strong. -db
Happy New Year from the Road Less Traveled podcast! Be safe out there. As always, thank you for listening. I have nothing but gratitude for still being around to even experience life, so thank you for sharing a portion of your time with me. -db
